Background : Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by (SARS-CoV-2) a novel highly transmissible pandemic disease. It was noticed that there were many cases of acute salivary sialadenitis in the era COVID -19 and not enough studies documented. This study aimed to assess if correlation between assessed saliva PCR as an easy diagnostic test for also compared it with gold standard nasopharyngeal sw...

Objective The aim of this study was to assess the demographic findings and surgical results of patients who underwent submandibular gland excision at a tertiary care center. Methods The clinical characteristics and histopathological results of 45 patients who had undergone submandibular gland excision between 1997 and 2014 were evaluated in detail.

The presence of multiple calculi in the major salivary glands is an uncommon finding. Sjögren's syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocyte-mediated destruction of the exocrine glands. The case is presented of a 49-year-old female with Sjogren's syndrome found to have bilateral multiple sialolithiasis in the parenchyma of the parotid glands. The patient presented with a...

Chronic sclerosing sialadenitis, known as KT, was first described in 1896 by Kuttner. KT is clinically characterised by a firm mass of submandibular gland in middle-aged adults. This is an uncommon tumor-like lesion that typically involves one of the submandibular glands [1-3]. The treatment of choice is complete removal of the affected gland.

Salivary dysfunction and sialadenitis are well known complications of radioiodine treatment for thyroid cancer. The parotid gland is more frequently affected and the salivary gland injury is dose related. The symptoms may develop shortly after therapeutic Iodine 131(I-131) administration or months later and progress with time. The development of unilateral parotiditis following a low dose, diag...
